Welcome to the Women’s Fund for the Fox Valley Region, Inc., an organization working to create positive social change by annually funding programs that address the underlying causes of deeply rooted societal problems and by educating the community on the unique needs of women and girls. The Fund raises money from a broad base of donors representing all economic backgrounds and invests these contributions into a permanent grants endowment, providing funding now and in the future.

Worldwide, women and children are disproportionately represented among victims of violence, the poorest of the poor, and the uneducated. In the United States, 37 million people live below the poverty line—21 million of them are women. Investing in women is one of the most revolutionary things we can do. If you give a woman equal access to opportunity, you have extended it to her family as well, and when families thrive communities prosper.
